Starring : Michael B Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad
Director : Ryan Coogler
Running Time : 134 mins
Adonis Johnson (Jordan) discovers that he is the son of the famous boxer Apollo Creed, who died shortly before his birth. As a result of his father’s career, Adonis decides to follow in his footsteps and become a boxer, but doesn’t want people to know about his parentage. He seeks out the mentorship of Apollo’s best friend, Rocky Balboa (Stallone), and together they try to transform Adonis into a boxer his father could have been proud of...
Fans of the Rocky movies won’t be disappointed with this. The plot is believable and doesn’t give us a ridiculous resurgence from Rocky himself which would have been stupid. Jordan does a reasonable job in this, considering some of the terrible roles he’s been handed, and Stallone might not be the best actor, particularly considering some of the drama in this, but he does okay.
